Here's what's amusing about copycat threads.

Just speaking for myself here.

They push 'real' threads off the front page faster... who needs those serious Lounge threads on the first page? Stupid serious thread!

They make you think (at least at first) you are reading a real thread, and you try to understand what the thread is about and respond, then you realize it's just a copycat thread. Funny huh?

You laugh and laugh and laugh trying to distinguish the real threads from the copycat threads

Just sayin'.

1. sometimes you kick, sometimes you get kicked
didn't you read what Skinner said: "The fun is over".
There are to be no more toys, no more jokes, no more laughing.
This is serious business here as we try to stop the humourless Nazi prigs, and we must not have any silliness, or they will win.

2. One point, though.
I didn't say anything about "serious" threads being in the Lounge.

Oh, I don't want copycat threads banned.

I do think original humor is better than a weak parody, however.
